Find your certification area below to determine which Praxis® test(s) you need to take and see the minimum qualifying score. To learn more about a specific test, click the test title. Once you know your test(s), find out how to register for Praxis tests and read the Praxis test retake policy.
The Delaware Professional Standards Board and State Board of Education have not approved qualifying test scores for all certificate areas; thus, the Praxis test is required if applicable and available.
In general, unless it is specifically stated that a calculator is permitted or required for a particular test, calculators may not be used on any Praxis tests (see Calculator Use).
If you test in Delaware at a testing center or using the Praxis at home solution, and your Praxis profile address is in Delaware, your score report will be sent automatically to the Delaware Department of Education.
If you test outside Delaware or your Praxis profile address is not in Delaware, your scores are NOT automatically sent to the Delaware Department of Education. To have your scores sent to the Delaware Department of Education, you must select the Delaware Department of Education (state code 7065) as a score recipient when you register.
For all methods of Praxis testing, to request additional score reports you must select the Delaware Department of Education (state code 7065) with each additional score report request.

If you wish to take all three Core exams (5713, 5723, 5733) at the same time, select Core Academic Skills for Educators: Combined Test (5752) when registering. Scores will be reported by individual test (5713, 5723, 5733).
